Among the first to present their creations was Turkish designer Bora Aksu, whose models wore delicate lace and chiffon dresses, teamed with sheer capes and tailored jackets.

Aksu said he drew inspiration from his childhood summers spent near Izmir. He used silk, tulle and organza on dresses in shades of pale pink, yellow and orange.

"The garden was full of orange trees, pomegranate trees, lemon trees so I wanted to bring all that freshness and colors into the collection," Aksu said.

Earlier, veteran designer Zandra Rhodes held a presentation for a collaboration with Kraftangan Malaysia to promote Malaysian textiles. Models wore colorful visors, flowing kaftans and full skirts in shades of pink, cobalt and orange.

The global luxury goods market is expected to "sustain a steady momentum" with up to 4 percent growth - at constant currency levels - this year, according to consultancy Bain & Co.
